with my system specs below i ask the following. 1. why does my subs all of a sudden start popping when i start and shut off the car? like an extra amp discharge kinda thing. 2. my system just recently starting actually causiing my windows to flex. nothing really has changed. it seasm louder but it just may be going deaf. 3. ive talked to alot of people that have xm and sirius. i myself have sirius, we all at one time agree we had some kind of buffer. my seamed like a 10 second buffer. BUT here in the last couple days the slighest tree and the signal is lost. any one know why?
1) it shouldn't, and I am surprised, if it's the Z9000... usually cheap amps have this problem. Normal amps have a slight delay, so that when the car is shut off, or the system shut off, they turn off a moment later, and it's a soft shut down. I can't offhand think of a good way to counter this.... you might try a [bipolar.. or non-directional] capacitor wired in parallel with your remote gain wire, that very well might help! 2) um... cool! 3) no, satellite just rather sucks that way.. Cool that your car has a buffer though, I have DirecTV at home, and I lose it in bad storms. It's actually pretty good most of the time, but I don't know how to explain what you are seeing. Maybe you've changed your driving habits? Is there a setting to control the delay you have cached?
Oh, and the bigger the capacitor, the longer the "delay".. or softer shut-down for your amp Actually, you don't need a bipolar or non-directional cap for this app... DC voltage after all.... just don't wire it backwards, or it'll pop like a little firecracker!
figured my problem out very simple actually. the remote wire came undone so the amp stayed on. i learned the hard way when both batterys were so close to being dead it took a couple minute for the starter to kick in but all is good now. so far
